Favorite method for oven cooked prime rib?

Preheat the oven to 500 and bake uncovered for weight of the roast x 5. So for a 5 pound roast bake for 25 minutes. Then turn the oven off and leave sit in the oven for 1 & 1/2 hours. Don't open the oven door until the 1 & 1/2 hours are up. Comes out Med Rare.
Bravo, that is the method I remembered some of above. Now all I have to do is find a piece of aged rib here. We can get some imported beef steaks but chunk are impossible. The Croatians like Veal and slightly older "young beef".
 
Is that how you met?
Nah, she had been an assistant Maitre D with Celebrity Cruises (first female), four years later she took the job of Duty Free and Gift shop manager. I was recuperating from a couple of month of hard work. I slept in my state room for 24 hours, got up to have a ciggy. I found I had none and could not find my lighter. I went to the mall. She sent the other staff away and asked me what I wanted. 20 Marlbro and a lighter. She asked me what color of lighter. I replied look into my eyes and you tell me. I was 49 yrs old and an arrogant dog. But it was like a good right cross landing when I looked into her eyes.6 month later I took her off the boat and married her. I then showed her what life was like as a pax.

Age it yourself? I did one a few Christmases ago, a fairly cheap supermarket special offer that had only been aged for 21 days. It went into a back-up fridge, uncovered on a rack and ventilated every couple of days. From memory it stayed there for well over 3 weeks, by which time the surface was starting to break down. Boy it was tasty.
 
Not so cheap here anymore!

After reading this thread I couldn't resist going in search of this today (thank you CraigC ). A 2.5kg Jacob's ladder (or short ribs, if you prefer), at a cost of £12.90. Fillet steak over here starts at £36/kg, ribeye starts around £34/kg. After curing this overnight then cooking low and slow for 72 hours I know which will taste better.
 
Like Backbay I use the 5/500 method. Room temp, well seasoned bone in roast, comes out pretty good every time. Well, sometimes I do cook it using indirect heat in a charcoal kettle grill, room temp and seasoned well. I use a probe thermometer and pull at about 115 - 118F, it will coast up to about 125F after resting for half an hour or so. I do like mine on the rare side.
